"Git along littl' doggy"

The Girls were invited out to my dear friends house to check out her horses and ride. They were so very excited. Graice asked if Nancy had Pink horses. She was sad to know that she didn't have Pink horses nor did the horses poop pink poop. She really hoped they had. They did get cowboy hats for the trip and were very excited to ride. Not only were they meeting Nancy, Steve and the horses for the first time, they were also meeting Kyler Cunningham. My friend Debi's Grandson. Here they are before meeting the horses. Hats and all.

Here is "Miss Nancy" taking the group out to the Barn. I love this picture.

Kunka didn't ride. She just hung out in her stroller and watched and got licks and kisses from the horses.
Here is Miss Nancy explaining to the kids not to get near the rear of the horse. Nancy was great with the kids and the kids were so thrilled and hung on her every word. (the horse is named Shorty)
Here they are petting and feeding Shorty the horse. So soft.
This one is of Gracie holding the rope while Lilly Sat on the back of the horse (Lilly not shown) Gracie's face is so sweet.
Kyler and Grace were really into finding Fred the barn Cat. She hid really well (Yes fred is a girl) They also had fun playing in the hay, jumping for bail to bail.

Gracie's Turn on the horse from the front.
And from the back
Lilly, my cowgirl, waiting for Gracie to come back. Lilly was a little scared of riding. I kept asking her if she was ready to get on and she said, "NO! Not yet mommy!"I finally just threw her up there and she was pretty nervous. Miss Nancy tried to comfort her but she wasn't going to smile one bit. Nanc was really good with her.
She would move Mouse (the horses name was mouse) forward one step and Lilly would hold on tight. Then another step until she was riding like a pro.

She finally smiled after a few turns around the barn.

After we were done and she got off she kept saying, "Mommy, that is MY horsey" Yeah Lilly, that is your horsey.
Thanks Nancy and Steve for letting us all come out and play on your little farm. The kids had a blast.

**side note:
Gracie and Kyler have a little puppy love romance. They were caught smooching in the back seat of the Van on the way home. She cried for 10 mins after Kyler left to go home. "I love him mom." Oh what will it be like when she is a teenager???**
